Brendan Gill's clarity of vision and his characteristic elegance, Gill gives us a meditation on one man's unprecedented accomplishment, and the world's overwhelming response.Draws on Lindbergh's full life to present him as a characteristic nineteenth-century American compelled to succeed in the twentieth century and as an intensely private man compelled to live his life in public.
Brendan Gill is perhaps best known as the witty and urbane author of the New Yorker magazine's "Talk of the Town" column.
Remarkable insights to who Charles was. Reeve was right - "Gill had a real and deep instinct about who my father was." Not a typical biography - no beginning to end of life journey. Instead, jumps about linking elements of Lindbergh and his life thematically rather than chronologically.
